06 997
about 3 months, actually was looking for a 996 Turbo had it almost finalized and the deal fell thru, the selling dealer had this car on the lot and made me a a great deal. Test drive sealed it! My only concern is the biege interior, have always picked black interior cars.

congrats. it`s a good car and it will last long if you will be gentle with it.
consider doing LN IMS retrofit to it as soon as possible if car was made earlier than June 2006 and has replacable IMS bearing. if you plan on trackinng it - GT Guard sells TBD with good discount now, it is a huge improvement compared to stock open diff.

utkinpol - Can you confirm that updated IMS came after June 06 build date? LN Engineering told me different: that the transition to new IMS design started in late 05 models and that all 06's have updated IMS

please search on renntech site and here. it was an old post from somebody who actually found porsche info about actual m96 and m97 engine numbers where new bearing was installed. engines are getting produced independently from cars, that is why it was a 'rule of thumb' that any July and so on 2006 cars will (most likely) have an engine with updated bearing. but to know for sure you need to find that post, find engine number ranges and then find out what is your engine number.
i think i posted copy of that info myself somme time ago but cannot find it nowhere. sorry.

I'm interested to find out about the bearing issue, I will have to dig deeper when I get the car back from the Audio place they are installing the NAVTV Tooki BT and cant make it work, they say it needs the PCM updated.

10/2005 997.1 PCM does not see NAVtv tooki
Had a local car stereo installer install a NAVtv tooki in my base 06 997 coupe (base car) and it won't work. The PCM does not see the tooki and had the car at my local independent today per NAVtv suggestion to see if they can log into the cars most ring and get the PCM to recognize the BT module. No luck after 3 hours. Anyone out there experience this? Please help!

I have an '06 997S and had the Tooki installed a few years ago. My PCM "saw" and worked with the Tooki right away, but I remember being told before the installation that if the unit did not work right off the bat, that the programming of the PCM would have to be updated by a dealer. I don't know if your independent shop has access to the same software that a dealer does. Usually, dealers charge for this update, anywhere from $100 to $300 if memory serves me right.
A few months after my installation, I had the car into my local dealer for service, and I got a phone call from the Service Manager to the effect that even though the PCM and Tooki were working together, the PCM was reporting the Tooki as an "anomaly" in their diagnostics. They updated my software for free since the system was already operational, and the Tooki continued to work as before, but"legal" from then on.
